“May the Two Who Are One save us from nothingness. May they save us from themselves.” — Fragment of prophecy believed written by Star Swirl the Bearded. The rest of the manuscript is lost. (Date unknown) ·MoonriseUnicorn

A changeling who finds responsibility thrust upon her after the failed Canterlot invasion.

A unicorn who finds herself part of first contact with a strange new creature.

A princess who finds hints of one she long since lost in another's mind.

With the arrival of a strange bipedal creature into Equestria, all three will find themselves intertwined with the fate of the girl. When language cannot be understood how will communication with the new arrival be achieved, and what secrets may the creature be bringing with her? What does the girl possess that may alter how the changeling in particular sees the world.

What could the girl possibly have that would allow one word – hope – to resonate so strongly, not only for herself but also the changeling.

This is a retelling of A Voice Among the Strangers from three viewpoints in particular. You don't have to read AVAtS to read this one, as I will be attempting to make each a full story on their own.

Also, this seems to share a Tv Tropes page with A Voice Among the Strangers!

You accidentally used "The fury bubbled within before Ebony exhaled slowly" when she hadn't yet been renamed. Also, you use "Look, " to start two sentences separated only by one sentence of narration and no dialogue. (The second one starting with "Look, I can't sense the queen")

Finally, "so for all we know she's dead or gone" should have commas before and after "for all we know" ("so, for all we know, she's dead and gone") because you're inserting the fragment "for all we know" into the middle of the perfectly valid clause, "so she's dead or gone".

That aside, a great start and I love the details you've started to build for the Changelings. My only complaint is that I now have to wait at least one more chapter before I can see soon-to-be-Ebony's introduction to Jessica.

Ebony's name before was Chrysalis? Did not see that coming...made it confusing in the beginning trying to figure out who was talking, but I picked up on it easily enough. But Minder has a disability that keeps her from being able to be evil?

I can see various other facts coming together to make sense. It's nice to know how the cluster in the cave came to be, and why Ebony and Minder hated Chrysalis so much.

Last thing, I love how you write snarky Ebony. Pure gold. I'm very interested to see how you write dialogue, seeing as most of your last story had almost none.

Chapter eleven: Reunion. The group was on the train, going back to Ponyville. They decided that Ebony should leave the car undisguised to show that she's got nothing to hide. Naturally, there were guards on the station and when she emerged, one of them asked "Chrysalis?" which promptly angered Ebony. A short order and an explanation later it was over if slightly more tense.

Though how did they know that name, I don't remember. I just remembered the scene and went to look for it.

It is actually interesting that so many fics have ponies using the name "Chrysalis" when it never was stated in the show itself and the stories themselves do not tell us how do they know it. Every now and then there is a fic that acknowledges that fact but those are few and far between. Or I simply miss them, which is also possible.

Edit:

Reading the comment above, I decided to spoiler the answer. We shouldn't spoil the fun for those who did not read the O(riginal) P(erspective).

Though that would mean changing comments (mine included) that are already there. Oh well, it seems more realistic to just spoiler out future comments.

Then again, half of the discussions in comments here would grind to a halt... it is a retelling, after all. We will all compare to the OP... Darn it, difficult decisions...

Only if they did not read the rest of the story where it was made VERYVERY obvious that Ebony was slowly changeling INTO a Queen and was not happy about it. Given that she is physically growing into a Queen she could not have been the fully mature Queen several months before.
